On the contrary, explanations like the one by the GP seem to attribute way more superhuman character to Musk than who he is: just another person, and one with a pretty peculiar personality at that. His traits could have brought him spectacu

Not sure if the “histrionics” is that over the top or any indicator that they have something to hide. Might simply be the style this person tweets, which can be understandable given how frustrating this situation seems to be. (People easily

From several cases we’ve seen here on HN so far, it seems to be a quite effective strategy for finally getting through to somebody at that tech behemoth and having your problem swiftly resolved (even if you may say that “theoretically” this

It does seem to be a Chinese tradition (and I believe in quite a few other places) to pacify the old king and grant them a comfortable enough retirement, as they’ve already lost power. It’s probably less confrontational and somewhat satisfi

I’m not sure what was the type of problem that he asked the engineers, for which they could simply copy and paste “perfectly optimized” answers from the internet… I suspect they were just some common algorithm questions, supposed to be answ

Not sure why this post is perceived with so much negativity here. I totally agree with the original author that the labels are a disaster. Whether the redesign is very much practical on low resolution is debatable, but I find the general id

This sounds overly negative and exaggerated. Adding quotation marks around the expert seems excessive, as this is surely the author’s profession no matter you agree with his idea or not. If you compare design nowadays and say the geocity da

Many clothes are not supposed to be put through the dryer. Just dry them naturally unless it perennially rains where you live. I’ve stopped doing that since a long time ago and they now last much longer.

The problem is that when you write the functionality yourself, you’re likely to be subject to the same number of, if not more, bugs per 1000 lines as mentioned in the article, especially if the project has a deadline to meet. Using unnecess

No doubt the crypto fanatics also get off on believing in the superiority and 100x growth of cryptos then.

Check out visual novels (The visual novel database: https://vndb.org/ ). Nowadays I don’t play games at all besides reading visual novels. Winning against predictable “AI” in conventional games feels like an unintellectual

There’s no pressure whatsoever if you get a good one, e.g. Alaskan Bear. Why not try it out once before jumping to conclusions. It’s super cheap.

I doubt they will particularly care if you just honestly tell them how much you bought them for. Surely with all the potential means of acquiring crypto (from another private person even), you would not have to always show an exchange ledge

That sounds like such an ideology-driven answer. Wonder if you’ve actually personally experienced working and living in both places.

Yeah it’s a pretty surreal feeling especially considering how Germany has an absolutely antiquated system on startup stock options that would simply tax your potential gains to oblivion, which ranks bottom in Europe together with Belgium. S

They are tax hells. Crypto has been such a special case in Germany, which feels much more an exception than the norm.

I totally see your sentiment about Portugal but not sure you can then confidently arrive at the conclusion “no matter the country you’re in”. When something is dysfunctional in one country that doesn’t suggest it’s the same in every other c

Nah. It’s mentioned in multiple places in this thread that crypto, just like any other personal asset, is tax-free after being held for a year. It has always been so. Not sure on what basis you arrived at the conclusion that “You will need

Seems that it’s treated as “personal asset” in Germany just like a car, thus not capital gains at all like stocks, which would always be taxed at 25%.

The employee has to pay a ton of social security contributions and insurance in Germany, which in many other countries are paid by the employer, making the net salary most likely about half of the gross salary.

In general this account (Vadim Yuryev/MaxTech) churns out a lot of specious and empty contents on YouTube at a ridiculous pace. One of the worst highly-subscribed "tech review" channels out there. Not that surprised to see th

That's not very relevant for the purpose of this discussion though. For example, a common stat floating around is how iPhone has 20% market share around the world but provides 80% of in-app revenue, which is what businesses care about.

Anecdotally, I got some scam crypto ad called "Bitcoin Era" in my GMail app just last weekend. The whole thing is laughably scammy. I Googled the name out of curiosity, and surprise! Almost every single result in the first three
